Total cross section of the reactionK−p→K¯0nfrom 515 to 1065 MeV/c

Abstract

We report the results of a precise measurement of the $K^{-}p\to {\overline{K}}^{0}n$ cross section between 515 and 1065 MeV/c in steps of 10 MeV/c. The statistical errors are less than 1%, a major improvement in accuracy over previous work. We discuss in detail the experimental apparatus and the corrections made to the data. No evidence is found for the new $I=1\mathrm{}$ $\overline{K}N$ resonances at 546 and 602 MeV/c $K^{-}$ momenta reported recently by Carroll et al.
